The Thrill of the Chase: The Wagstaff Collection of Photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum
From 1973 to 1984, Samuel J. Wagstaff, Jr. (American, 1921-1987)
assembled one of the most important private collections of photographs
in the world. Wagstaff promoted photography as an art form by organizing
exhibitions, delivering lectures, and publishing material on his
collection. In 1984, a few years before his death from AIDS-related
complications, Wagstaff sold his collection to the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Numbering several thousand, the collection now forms a cornerstone of
the Getty Museum’s holdings of photographs.
Wagstaff served as a curator of paintings and sculpture at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (1961-1968) and curator of contemporary art at the Detroit Institute of Art (1969-1971)

Lampúe se hizo famoso por una fuerte controversia que mantuvo a través de la prensa con los pintores cubistas.
.. The subject of an interpellation in the Chambre
des Députés. Following the lead of a municipal councillor and amateur
photographer named Lampué, who had written an open letter to Monsieur
Bérard, Under-Secretary in the Ministry of Fine Arts, in the Mercure de
France:
....That access to all public building should be denied " to a gang of
criminals who behave in the art world like yobs and delinquents.
a Socialist deputy, Monsieur Jean Louis Breton, demanded that measures be taken to prevent the Cubists from exhibiting at the Salon d'Automne:
....'Il
est absolument inadmissible que nos palais nationaux puissent servir à
des manifestations d'un caractère aussi nettement antiartistique et
antinational.' .
The attack was answered by Marcel Sembat
'Quand un tableau vous semble mauvais,' he declared, 'Vous
avez un incontestable droit: celui de ne pas le regarder et d'aller en
voir d'autres. Mais on n'appelle pas les gendarmes.'

Photographies de Lampúe. Sturgis collection
..........American architect Russell Sturgis (1836 –1909) was a leading figure in the development of architectural criticism at the turn of the 20th-century. During his formative years in New York, Sturgis gained an appreciation for architectural history and modern design. An advocate of the American Pre-Raphaelites, Sturgis sought much inspiration in the written works of English architect and critic John Ruskin. Upon his return to New York after extensive travel abroad, Sturgis opened his own architectural practice in 1863. In addition to his success as an architect, Sturgis authored countless articles and books on various architectural subjects.
